2026 KPSS Undergraduate Branch Rankings Are Available

The critical threshold that thousands of candidates who dream of becoming public servants have been waiting for months has finally been crossed. ÖSYM (Measurement, Selection and Placement Center) officially announced that the branch-based rankings of the 2026 Public Personnel Selection Examination (KPSS) undergraduate level have been made available. After the exam results are announced, the most curious question of the candidates is "where am I in my field?" The question was answered with this data. Candidates can apply via the official website of ÖSYM. By logging into the system with their ID numbers and candidate passwords, they will be able to examine in detail not only their overall scores but also their rank specifically for the department they graduated from.

Why Are Rankings So Critical? The score obtained in the KPSS process alone is not a sufficient criterion for a candidate to open the door to civil service. What really matters is the competitiveness of the candidate in his/her own branch. For example, even if a candidate has a very high score, other candidates in his or her branch have higher scores, ranking is vital when appointment quotas are limited. Branch rankings provide candidates with a "realistic picture". Thanks to this table, candidates can clearly analyze how advantageous or disadvantageous they are in the department they graduated from, compared to the exam difficulty and candidate density that year. These data are not only an indicator of success, but also the most important strategic guide for future preference periods.

With the announcement of these rankings, there has been intense data traffic in every field, from educational sciences to engineering, from law to health sciences. Experts emphasize that after the branch rankings are announced, candidates should focus on rational analysis rather than emotional reactions. There can be serious differences between a candidate's place in the general rankings and his/her place in the branch rankings. This shows that in some departments, scores may be much higher than expected, and in some departments, appointments may be made with lower scores. Therefore, in the coming period, candidates need to pay attention not only to their own scores, but also to which score ranges the accumulation in their branches is concentrated.

What to Expect Next? With the rankings clarified, all eyes are now on the quota numbers to be announced by the institutions and the central appointment calendar. The next stage for candidates is to conduct an "assignment simulation" based on their branch rankings. When which institution will recruit how much, branch-based quota distributions and previous years' base scores are combined, candidates will be able to act much more consciously during the selection period. These rankings will be the main basis when creating preference lists, especially for candidates who will be placed through interview processes or direct central appointment. During the selection periods to be held in the coming months, candidates' acting strategically and closely following the quota mobility in their branch will directly affect their success in the path to civil service.
